Astronomy & SpaceMon, 20 May 2013 09:36:39 EDTnews288261383Research team turns real paper into changeable display medium(Phys.org)—Researchers at the University of Tokyo's Naemura Group have succeeded in creating a changeable display medium using paper coated with a photo chromatic material. The system allows for drawing on paper using a pen that applies Frixion's friction thermo sensitive ink which becomes transparent when heated. The images created are captured by a camera and are sent in real time to a computer which can be used to alter the image. Erasing parts of the drawing are caused to occur on the paper by projecting light heat onto it from below. The resultant system allows for drawing images that can be changed automatically, such as having areas fill in, parts being removed or highlighted or even reproduced elsewhere on the paper. The research group calls their system a new kind of paper computing technology.http://phys.org/news270972968.html

Yet it was amidst the high mountains of north-east Spain, where the four-nations team behind the Celtic Genesis project proved that Internet voice technology (VoIP), transmitted over advanced, high speed wireless broadband (WiMax), can provide rural communities with a reliable service for telephones, video and other multimedia applications.http://phys.org/news189863016.html
TechnologyWed, 07 Apr 2010 13:00:13 EDTnews189863016New type of vaccines deliver stronger and faster immune responseA new vaccine principle is being developed by scientists at the University of Copenhagen which – if it works to its full expected potential – could help to save millions of lives and revolutionise current vaccine technology. The 'InVacc' platform, as it is known, represents an advance on the original DNA vaccines and generates new vaccines with greatly enhanced properties. The platform consists of a chain of amino acids attached to a gene of the virus being vaccinated against. This genetic cocktail is then inserted into an incapacitated flu-like virus such as the adenovirus and injected into the body, where it triggers a broader and more aggressive immune response, enabling the immune system to quickly seek out and destroy the disease when it invades.http://phys.org/news146746783.html
